A DAY DREAM. BY TBBODOBK CARPENTER. In a long-forgotten pocket, Tied up with a silken band, I found it: only a letter, Traced in a girlish hand. I read it over and over, Ah, me! as I did before, •. In the days that were full of sunlight— The days that are no more. I dreamed of a golden Summer, Far back in a joyous time, When every day was a poem, And every hour a rhyme. There came a fragrance of roses, And lilacs andm ; gnonette, And a sound of sylvan music, And the eyes that are with me yet. A flood of purple sunset, In scintillant glory came, Till the deep old forests kindled. And burned like a fluid of flame. There came a girlish figure, With billows of floating hah, And she bent her face above me— An angel over my chair. I saw it all in a moment, While I held the crumpled sheet; And then, as the vision faded, The long, gray city street, With its hateful rush and clamor, Came back to my weary eyes; Ah I still the fruitless struggle! Ah! still the worthless prizs. THE VACANT CHAIR. A Sabbath stillness fills the room, As twilight deepens into night, And all around is darkened gloom— Thy presence gives no gleam of light. Memory recalls thy absent face, The sunny smile thou used to wear; We turn to catch tny warm embrace, And meet, alas! - thy vacant chair. We miss thy well-remembered form, Thy silvery voice, so sweet and clear, The heart whose feelings, pure and warm, Had made thee to our own so dear. The books, the flowers thy band pressed, We treasure with the deepest care ; The very room thy presence blessed, Now hold", alas! thy vacant chair. A rosebud’s broken from the tree, Thy lute’s unstrung upon the ground; We turn in vain to look for thee, And listen for thy footstep’s soud. We miss the clasp of thy dear hands, Thy words that oft could banish care, And memory wields a magic wand, As we gaze upon thy vacant chair. THE DEACON’S DOG, It was a great many yeart ago, at a camp-meeting, that Brother Higgins, a good man, but passionately fond of dogs, came in one day accompanied by a black and-tan hound. Somebody asked him to address the congregation, and he mounted the stand for the purpose, while his dog sat down upon his haunches immediately in front, looking at his master. In the midst of the discourse, which entertained us much, another dog came up, and after a few social whiffs at Brother Higgins’ dog began to examine the hind leg of the latter with his teeth, apparently for the purpose of ascertaining it it w r as tender. An ani mated contest ensued, and one of the con gregation came forward for the purpose of separating the animals. His efforts were not wholly successful. He would snatch at the leg of Hiegin’s dog, but before his hand got there the yellow dog would be on that side, and would probably take an in cidental and cursory bite at the deacon’s hand. Brother Higgins paused in hia dis course and watched the deacou. Then he exclaimed, !‘dpit in his eye, Brother Thompson, spit in the hound’s eye!”— Brother Thompson did, and thefight ended “But I just want to say,” etntinued Mr. Higgins, mine can eat up any salmon col ored animal in the State, and then chaw up the bones of its ancestors for four genera tions, without turning a hair 1 You un deiHaul me!” Then the services pro ceeded, TUB MOTHER AS A HAIR-CUTTER.

Send out your children to take air when there is a “spanking breeze.” Doctor Johnson once reprimanded a man for selling liquor. “Imust live,” said the inn-keeper. “I see no necessity for that,’, replied the doctor. “Jenny,” said a Scotch minister, stoop ing from his pulpit, “have ye got a peen about ye?” “Yes, minister.” “Then stick it into that sleeping brute o a man o’ yours by your side.” An Irishman applying for a license to sell whisky, was asked by the Judge if he had a good moral character. “Faith, yer honor, I don’t see the necissity of a good moral character to sell whisky.” A minister made and interminable call upon a lady. Her little daughter present grew very weary of his conversation, and at last whispered in an audible -whisper: “Didn’t he bring his amen with him, mama ?” A young gentleman having called in his physician, said: “Now, sir, 1 want no tri fling; I wish you to strike at the cause of my disease.” “It shall be done,” replied the doctor, and, lifting his cane, he smash ed the decanter of wine upon the table. A small chap on the street with a big hat on, stsanger sees him and cries out— “ Hallo, hat, where are you going with that boy ?’’ An old lady hearing some one say that mails were very irregular, said: “It was just so in my young days—no trusting any of them.” Squilcn asked his friend why he married so little a wife? “Why,” said he, “I thought you had known that of all evils we should choose the least?” Mrs. Jenkins complained in the evening that the turkey she had eaten at thanks giving did not set well. “Probably, ” Jenkins, “it was not a hen-turkey. ” He got a glass of water In his face. A minister who had received a number of calls, and could scarcely decide whieh was the best, asked the advice of a faith ful old negro, wdio replied, “Massa, go whar dere is de mos’ debbil.” Ac urchin suffering from the application of the birch, 22 M . “Forty rods are said to be a furlong.

She was shown a large cradl , which was just what she w anted. A band, which serenaded a young mar ried couple in one of our surburban towns, the other evening selected a peculiarly hap py and flattering piece, known as “The monkey mariied the baboon's sister.” “Teddy, my boy, jist guess how many cheeses there ere bag, and faith I’ll give ye the wholq five.” “Five, to be sure.”— “Arrah, by my soul! bad luck to the man that tould ye. ” , At one of his lectures, George Francis Train shouted, “Now. then, any body can at-k me questions.” Whereas an old lady got up and said, “Mr. Train, I would like to know what makes a pot-leg always burn in two in the middle.” The American traveler was nonplussed. A peasant went into a large city and was attracted to a banking-office, where he saw people go out and in without getting any goods, apparently, as in other shops. He ventured to enter and ask the teller what was sold there. “Asses’ heads,” was the sneering answer. “What a busi you have!” said the rustic; “I see you have but one left.” A fellow who was nearly eaten out of bouse and home by the constant visits of hi* ♦riends, was one day complaining bit “CX„n, .

Coughs, Tightness of the Che>t, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dys pepsia. In these complaints it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a h ngthy advertisement. For Female Complaints, in young or old, marrhd or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so de cided an influence that a marked improvement is soon perceptible. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indiges tion, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, I iseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, ihise Sitters nave been rflost successful.

Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished phy siologist: There is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy ele ments of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters cf disease. No system of Medi cine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters. Mechanical Diseases.
